Description
Summary
We should remove the symbols from the packages and instead publish them to a public symbol server.
Motivation
Right now 90% of space taken by our nuget packages are taken by the symbols, which many developers will never even use.

Research direction
Start by tracing how this repository builds and publishes its NuGet packages, then identify where symbol files are included and where release artifacts are configured. Confirm how a public symbol server would be used before changing the packaging workflow. Done means published packages no longer contain symbols and the symbols are available through the public server.
